Bernie Guzman is the personal chef to Adrienne maloof. He is the one who hates Lisa Vanderpump. Actually, the feeling is mutual. Anyway, on his Facebook page, Bernie posted the photo above of Adrienne Maloof. In the posting, he states that the marks on Adrienne's back are from her estranged husband Paul.
"Now you know….Everyone else needs to know. It's a secret I have kept….he must be stopped. Adrienne did not put me up to this…..I feel everyone needs to know. I'm sure she will be relieved everyone knows. Now you know who and what he really is. Adrienne Maloof was pushed to the ground. Punched and beaten. He is a beast.”
What I am wondering is why Adrienne turned to Bernie to give the pictures to or take the pictures. Did Bernie just acquire them? Before a party, did Adrienne tell him there was something he needed to see and to bring his camera? Did it happen while he was there? How come he never called the police? He just kept the photos for later use?
I actually did not need to know this.
ReplyDeleteI think every one of the women on the "Real Housewives" franchise are despicable, vapid human beings - this includes husbands, ex husbands, etc.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I am not buying that he abused Adrienne.
I agree it is bizarre that Bernie is exposing this.
ReplyDeleteThank god the tag is on the post---otherwise I'd have to google.
ReplyDeleteI've gathered my thoughts better to explain why I find this weird: Bernie says Adrienne did not put him up to releasing the photos so my questions are: Does she not know he took photos? It looks like she's posing. And if she didn't know he was taking the photos, who is he to blab this information? Abuse victims/survivors should talk about their experience on their own terms. I'm not calling shenanigans on her abuse, but something ain't right in the water.
ReplyDeletethe chef, really?
ReplyDeleteI'm not making excuses for him, but the conspiracy theorist in me wonders if this could have been from her practicing karate? And if she is as good at it as reported, why isn't it him showing off his bruises.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I bruise easily. Like a gnat could land on me I bruise. If I play around with the kids I am black and blue the next day. We moved stuff out of garage a few weeks ago and I was so bruised I had to wear pants and a lightweight jacket for 2 weeks.
Is there a more clear picture of this somewhere? I'm not really seeing bruising, just shading from not being a nubile, skin and bones 20 year-old. I hate to feel like I don't necessarily believe this story, but they've both lied so much already it's treading on the boy who cried wolf territory.
ReplyDeleteI think the butler did it.
ReplyDeleteIdk if this is real or not, but either way it is disappointing how it makes a mockery out of abuse by posting the pics to fb, ya know?
ReplyDeleteAmber - the pics are on Radar's site.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, Paul's lawyer issued a denial last night.
If Paul had nothing to do with this, then posting these pictures and accusing him is reprehensible.
Paul must have fists the shape of a negative rectangle bc on her back I see a non-bruised rectangle shape surrounded by redness
ReplyDeleteI'm just not buying it. She is going after him any way she can, and she already had to recant previous accusations.
ReplyDeletelooks like a rash to me...
ReplyDeleteUntil I read the comments, I had no idea who these people are.
ReplyDeleteand like bobbi1025, I also bruise easily. I bruise just lightly hitting furniture as I pass it. Mr. B held onto my arm to lift himself off the floor a few days ago and left a bruise on my arm. I see bruises on myself and have no idea where I got it. Some people are just like that. My mother was the same way.
why does he/she not release these pics during their battle for temporary kids custodies?
ReplyDeleteshe said her husband was violent against her and the kids (the kids had said it was untrue)
It's a strange pattern. I'm trying to figure out how it would happen. Did she fall on something?
ReplyDelete@FSP I am in love with you for your avatar.
ReplyDeleteHey, I bruise super-easily too! Anyone else been asked by every doctor EVER, whether you're being beaten by someone? And have strangers feel sorry for you that you won't admit to them that your boyfriend MUST beat you, for you to have a bruise?
ReplyDeleteI was a waitress, so I had strangers to convince I was okay, for YEARS though. I knew they meant well, but I find it odd that total strangers think it's their right to ask questions about your body, straight away. It makes you really feel like meat.
FSP - Nah. He's a butler. He butles. And this chef should get back to cheffing and stop sucking on the maloof family money teat.
ReplyDeleteUm lets see a employee of Adrianne who also signed an affidavit saying he witnessed abuse of the kids, which was later proven false, is now "releasing" photos of his boss of what are supposed to be abuse photos. Looks more like sparing photos from her boxing/kickboxing/karate training.
ReplyDeleteShe was already proven wrong in the courts, so all she has left is to try to gain sympathy in the court of public opinion.
What she doesn't understand is that it is not working and only makes her look like a bitch for being so vindictive and making a mockery out of real women who are being abused and are in life and death situation with no other alternatives. As compared to poor Adrianne who spent over 300,000.00 to build her own spa in her house.
As a women, women like her make me sick.
I'm an easy bruiser, too. Mr. Disco says that if I had a dollar for every time I've said "Where did THIS bruise come from?" I could probably pay off the national deficit.
ReplyDeleteLibby, I sail and there is one boat in particular that is nick named the wife beater, because you will leave that boat covered in bruises. At one doctors appointment, she had me come into her office after the physical and sat me down and asked if I needed to tell her anything. That it was ok and I was in a safe environment.
ReplyDeleteI was so confused, I said what are you talking about? She said these bruises, are you in an abusive relationship.
I laughed and said no I was sailing, to which I got the same, its ok you can tell me the truth. to which I said no seriously, I was out on a J24.
To which she said, oh never mind, those boats are wife beaters. You should have said what type of boat early, you don't look that bad for a J24.
I had bruises on my arms, legs, back, hip. I seriously could have claimed I was being beaten and would have easily been believed.
I'm not going to pretend I know what goes on behind their closed doors but it seems to me that someone who is genuinely worried about their boss and friend they would be more responsible than to post evidence on facebook. Straight and silently to the cops is where those pics go.
ReplyDeleteI just don't believe this at all. Adrienne is lying. The way Adrienne spoke to Paul on the show, she had NO fear whatsoever of Paul. She was outright nasty to him. If she feared him, the way Taylor feared her husband, it would have shown. Taylor's husband was physically abusive, not Paul. Taylor was scared to say anything and do anythign wrong for fear of the reprocussions. Adrienne had no fear.
ReplyDeleteKendra---I know your frustration, but not with the boat (unfortunately).
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to truthfully deny abuse, because everyone's looking for 'denial', once they've assumed it.
One particular time, after I moved most everything by myself into a new apartment, my legs had so many small bruises all around, it looked like leopard-print tights! It was so gross!
The chef in the study with the wrench!
ReplyDeleteNo, it's so calculated. I bet Adrienne had him post it. Then if she doesn't get sympathy or it's proven fake (duh) they will say it was just a joke and she had hives from some new hair glitter extensions. She already has her backup plan in place.
Bernie is a drama queen of the highest caliber. His malicious eyes darting around, his plotting and planning ... "I see wheels within wheels, plans within plans" whenever he's onscreen. This is such a great moment for him. He's ready for his closeup, Mr De Mille.
ReplyDeleteShe's so quickly to get the courts involved in false child abuse claims, but she won't call the police for abuse allegations despite allowing her employee to take photos? I call BS on this.
ReplyDeleteI agree that this is from karate. If she was being abused the would have bruising on other places than her back. That is all from being flipped repeatedly.
I hope I never ever hate the father of my children to 1. Divorce him so publicly 2. Feel the need to shame him in the media & therefore in front of my kids 3. Even think about making something like this up.
ReplyDeleteThe way Adrienne talked to Paul on the show and the way she treated him, like shit, these photos probably stem from her falling down the stairs after she missed hitting Paul on the head with one of her tacky shoes.
ReplyDeletewe already know she lied about child abuse by paul and got the shrink to lie for her. frankly, i don't think paul could beat her up---i think it would be more likely she would beat HIM up.
ReplyDeleteThose don't even look like bruises, it looks like a skin rash of some sort, maybe psoriasis or something.
ReplyDeleteThis is seriously an insult to the women who are truly being abused.
Ah!! And Crila & Flo said what I came to say. She was regularly nasty to him. Not the behavior of a woman who knows she's going to get beat.
ReplyDeleteThe same Bernie who was such a dickhead to Lisa Vanderpump? Whatever, dude.
ReplyDeleteWeird the whole darn thing! If these were real beating photos then they should go to the cops not facebook, that in itself lends to the credibility.
ReplyDeleteIf they are real then I bet she had Bernie take the photos for her and then to keep them for safekeeping.
The previews for the upcoming season are intense, so who knows.
Also, I think it is deplorable that Taylor was being abused and many commented on it after the first season and nothing was done about it then.
I say all bets are off the table when children are involved, if possible.
I don't buy her story(s). This woman lied last time, even involving a former FBI, and now this. It's women this who make it hard for women who have legitimate claims in the courts.
ReplyDeleteI abhor her. And if she's found the be lying, again...she should loose custody of her kids.
@ Barton - you are so right about Bernie. You could just tell from watching him on his limited screen time that he was all up in his employers shit.
ReplyDeleteI liked Adrienne at first because she seemed so above all the cat fighting and back stabbing but she lost me when she started being so contemptuous and dismissive of Paul all the time on camera. That and the bitch is so rarified that she doesn't know how to cook a chicken. On an episode Lisa Van Der Pump came over to show her how to bake a chicken and you'd think she was being asked to perform brain surgery she was so out of her element in her designer kitchen. She even washed the chicken with soap.
That said, I can't wait for the new season to begin.
Looks like sunburn to me. Women who cry abuse when that's not the case should really be questioned as to whether their good parents. And what is she teaching her kids? Disgusting.
ReplyDelete@FLo - true! and weren't there rumors during season one that she was abusive to him and would regularly attack him and beat him up with her amazing Karate skills?
ReplyDeleteThese photos should have been taken by the police while she was filing a report, not by the chef to be put up all over social media. I don't know the whole story, and if she is truly the victim of domestic violence, I feel terrible, but my BS meter is twanging. This is a nasty divorce with custody issues. I guess we'll need more information on whether or not she filed charges or this was a repeat offense. If she is lying, dog help her. Women who cry "wolf" make it so much harder for true victims to speak out. :(
ReplyDeleteI heard the rumors that she was verbally and physical with Paul.
ReplyDeleteLets not forget he had a broken nose last season and that was what his second in 2 years. Pro athletes don't break their noses that much!

ReplyDeleteNot sure I believe this.
ReplyDeleteShe does martial arts and a lot of sports activities, she could easily have been bruised by that.
This guy is her toady and the idea that he released the pictures without her notice or involvement seems questionable to me.
If she had this why was her custody suit dismissed and Paul was given access to the kids.
If it happened, I would have thought she'd have used anything she had in her arsenal to fight him being given access to their kids.
I'm skeptical but I'll wait to see what else comes out from either Adrienne herself or Paul.
She strikes me as someone who would have run screaming to her brothers if a man raised his hand to her and they'd have taken him down.
Why don't I believe Adrianne?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing she saw the "success" her equally despicable scumbag co-star Big lips had driving her husband to suicide with false allegations of abuse & figured she'd jump on the bandwagon too...
